I heard King of Limbs once and honestly, I couldn't tell you anything memorable about it. Whatsoever. Thom Yorke's a cool dude who likes good music, but the stuff they're turning out now is just so incredibly anodyne.

but too flawed to be near top of any list etc. Lotus Flower, Give Up the Ghost, and Seperator are all top drawer songs but otherwise feels like ideas rather than fully fledged songs. Codex is great too but just Pyramid Song repackaged, which is nowt to complain over really. Bloom is lovely but have to be in mood, Jamie XX's latest remix of it is absolutely brilliant.

Little By Little is the one I really can't take. Totally dull and lacking in any inspiration.

And I'm a huge Radiohead fan. It's true - they've released an "ok" record. Most bands do, it's only natural. Whether they can come back with anything special will be an interesting question. Personally, the most striking thing about TKoL for me (bearing in mind that I loved it when it was first released) is how Radiohead don't seem to have their heart in it anymore. And you couldn't really blame them for that - they've been doing interesting stuff for

I think Radiohead were (as they were for me) rather responsible for getting a lot of people heavily into music, with their move away from mainstream etc etc.

But there's something to be said for manic support mirroring footy support, and Radiohead are a 'safe bet' but surely then being fan of an unrelentingly bad band like Maroon 5 would be like being a fan of a really bad team which is somewhat more noble...
